Sunstein press release brags about lack of client defections

Is there still some tension between the newly renamed Sunstein, Kann, Murphy & Timbers and two former partners who recently left the Boston firm for McCarter & English after they couldn’t convince their colleagues to merge with a larger firm?

“We wish the best to our former colleagues, Lee Bromberg and Erik Belt, who have left to join a large firm.

“We are happy to report that none of our clients, which include large international corporations, have told us that they require a firm with a bigger platform to serve their intellectual property needs.”
